Conditions We Treat by Telehealth
Telehealth Questions, Answered
Who can be seen by telehealth?
Anyone located in Maine at the time of the visit — distance from Portland doesn't matter. New evaluations and follow-ups can both be done by video.
Is telehealth psychiatry as good as in person?
For most medication management, yes — the evidence and our experience agree. We'll ask you to come in when a physical assessment matters, and you can mix formats freely.
What do I need for a video visit?
A phone, tablet, or computer with a camera, and a private-enough spot. We send a secure link before each visit, and our front desk can walk you through it the first time.
Can prescriptions be sent after a video visit?
Yes — prescriptions go electronically to your pharmacy the same as after an office visit. Some controlled medications carry extra requirements; your provider will explain what applies to you.
Will insurance cover telehealth visits?
Most plans and MaineCare cover telehealth psychiatry visits. We verify your exact benefits before your first appointment.
What happens if I need more than telehealth?
You're already in the right practice. If a visit raises something that needs in-person care — TMS, Spravato, or a structured day program — your provider refers you down the hall, not across town.
